He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer.

I like to improvise solely with my left hand, it helps a lot with my coordination. I use it as an exercise in the beginning of every session, it's no Hanon or Czerny but it helps me quite a bit. Oh and I know this may sound cliche but bach and Scarlatti are tons of help too...
